Eli 'Paperboy' Reed & The True Loves - Live @ Jools Holland

[steelos39]

hes just friggen awesome...

[kakdakaktush]

IF JOOLS HOLLAND invites him to a show.. then I believe he is going right ok!, Not shitty musicans go to the Jools Holland Show, for fuck sake!!!

[groovedealer]

I'm the trumpet player in this video, toured with Eli for 2 months through Europe... Great band, great discipline!

[nicholas0325]

@groovedealer the man seems like a perfectionist. and i shows. 

[groovedealer]

@Lurchyg: Solange is the sister of Beyonce Knowles...

[3309851]

free show in pittsburgh tonite babay!

[funkluv]

Video might have killed the radio star , but auto tune will never kill soul no matter hard it tries

[dakarlion1]

Great that some people still make this kind of music!

[KevinMyersmusic]

That's retarded he's reaching directly from the roots. like wilson picket

[clfarmer]

If you even get Kelly Jones of the Stereophonics to nod his head then ya must be worth a wiggle.

[soisik018]

j adore ce gamin !!!!! je suis fan !!!!!

[june18th1988]

give me something with actual soul. this guy does not have it. my opinion.

[SamJendo1]

@june18th1988 too pale for you? 

[june18th1988]

@SamJendo1 nope. he's too shitty.

[SamJendo1]

@june18th1988 I'll be awaiting your far superior album

[june18th1988]

@SamJendo1 That's the lamest argument. All music isn't going to appeal to me. I don't dig this guy. So what?

[recovering16]

He's been around for awhile, evidently (this video is from 2008)...I just "discovered" him on New Years Eve when he sang with Daryl Hall on his NYE special. I was blown away. This one's good, but I love "Pick a Number" best of all his, so far. I'm definitely planning to see him in Vegas when he appears here in February!!

[wesleyimschoot]

Is this a funky singer with a funky song or is this a funky song sang by a funky singer? Eitherway, I LOOOOOOOVE it

[aprilsblessed]

SOOOO GOOD! MUSIC HAS FOUND ITS WAY BACK!!

[armynurseboy]

Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson for the 21st Century. Good stuff!

[parisone53160]

Take My Love With You is the Song and The Album is Roll With You.

[miamiwax]

CONTRIVED :(

[cynicalmichael]

Ye gods... everybody is smiling, people dancing in the isles... suddenly music is fun again

[cynicalmichael]

Old boy has got a set of pipes

[JusticieroDeLaMuerte]

5 Justin Bieber fans.

[henasea2]

good fun music like its ment to be!

this fella can sing....may be born at the wrong time?

[kmaaka]

wow that was cool!

[Sophet452]

J'adore les video de musique sans le son ... Merci beaucoup, ça nous aide !

[dafneaviva]

@Sophet452

reboot ton ordinateur ou "replay", c'est surtout ca qui va t'aider a entendre la musique.

[francaisemusique]

this guy is awesome, bring back 60s rock and roll !!!!

[sdcair]

where can i see the performance of the carolina chocolate drops in that episode? jools holland is announcing them right at the end of this video.

[harmonicarock]

Amazing band !!!

[SiamSlim]

This guy can stand next to "Tom Walbank" yet this guy is all over the place ??? So Lame,,,

[myklstarr]

AWESOME!!!

[dizzygillespie927]

wow i didnt know jimmy kimmel was such a good singer...haha....but seriously tho this guy is awesome

[balletexpert101]

its so refreshing to see that there are artists out there that remember this amazing era of music and use that to their advantage. its amazing to see an artist out there these days who can sing live without auto-tune

[Smogget]

He's so charming. I love his sound.

[june18th1988]

If you want some real blue eyed soul, look up jamie lidell. he blows this guy out the water. this guy comes across as nothing but trying too hard to be something he's not.

[BurninVernon1]

How can you be this young and still have such 1965 roots and style? Watch and see.

[spiderfaf]

vu à Cognac il y a 2 jours...Ce mec est énorme!!!

J'ai jamais vu un mec avec une pêche pareil!!!!!!

[PhilosopherShale]

Simply amazing.

[ItsNotASlim]

At the beginning of the song I was, Please you waxed haired twat stfu. But when the song really started it was really good!

[MojoRebel]

I love and respect Jools Holland- He has a massive respect for all types of musical genre - This stuff is in the groove- as a soul bro for over 40 years and founder of the Domino Jazz Club (Doncaster) - This guy is keeping the faith alive- brilliant

[theonetrueg]

@MojoRebel I knew that motherfucker when I was 8 years old. He could have been a pro skater when he was 15, then he just quit one day and started learning blues songs in front of the computer. Now look at this dude. Signed to Capitol.

[dukeofdeco]

Listen to the original version by the Falcons. Then judge for yourself.

[alvar00]

Olha que o cara é fera...fazendo ROCK de verdade.

[gregsmith02]

This guy is amazing. I still can't believe he is white now i have seen it. So much soul....."Northern" making a come back? Love it!

[MojoRebel]

@gregsmith02 Northern is not making a comeback because ir has never been away - ( not for me anyhow) - respect - Keep The Faith

[dirkbogarde44]

That ...was... fantastic.

[BaronDandy]

Viernes! Viernes! Viernes! Viernes! Viernes!

[INHALE2thaCHIEF]

the ladies singin back-up are sexy...

[heavysantxez]

I love the way they make something fresh out of something classic.

[yatolah]

[NathWhO]

[holywud1]

Great Sound, brings back class to music

[holywud1]

[TheBobRiversShow]

GORDON-THE-INTERN SAID: I was blown away by Eli Reed, His voice is awesome! A blast from the past. The Bob Rivers Show was very fortunate to have Mr. Reed perform in studio on 102.5 KZOK in Seattle.

[Mgl0001]

stunning

[BackyardChef]

Totally awesome rockin' soul action. Thanks for posting. This gives me hope for the future of music....

[28witlegalmoney]

Solange is needed in todays present time and Eli is the blues fresh air.

[Paulann7326]

Solange tweeted this and I'm glad because I've never heard of this group. Great soul sound, reminiscent of the Memphis sound.

[failurebob]

not cool, he stole my nickname...

[danbustermaskatesta]

chingaos esto si es musica, soi su fan! pero me guat mas it's easier

[charlievk78]

es muy bueno, lo vi en Vitoria en mayo y realmente nos encantó! todo el mundo encantado y sorprendido, jeje...

[cdddc]

Este tio es INCREIBLE!!!!!!

[Luisdlt1]

Cuanta razón tienes

[latelyivebeenthinkin]

what bothers me about this music besides the fact that the lead singer is SO unpleasant and awkward to watch (just a dork)... is that there's NOTHING innovative about this. he will be dropped for someone better looking with a better voice and presence in a year or two

[iodax]

They play and sing great - not awkward at all - I couldn't disagree more - I loved this performance and went to see him and the band live when they came to London and I would do so again at the drop of a hat! Not only is this true raw soul but it's classic. Retro yes and I love it. You've obviously just been tainted by plastic pop force fed to us by mainstream media.

[DrewtheJew61]

What bothers me about your comment, besides the fact that it was unpleasant and difficult to bear, is that there was NOTHING original about it. It will be disliked until someone else more offensive and tacky comes along to spew some garbage about Eli "Paperboy" Reed.

You, sir, are a waste of time. Learn what good music is please.

[BlowZootBlow]

Please tell us what constitutes good music, oh wise one.

[DrewtheJew61]

You're watching it.

[BlowZootBlow]

Agreed! Saw him live in London twice last year. Original it isn't; amazing, entertaining, exciting, etc it is!

[norristerse]

.. and the oscar for "biggest overreaction" goes to ......(drum roll)....DrewtheJew61!!!!!

[ilv0lpe]

@DrewtheJew61 I heard he was gay

[dan32113]

@ilv0lpe fuck a mans sexuality is interesting is it? have you learned to peel a banana with your feet yet! monkey boy.

[Everythingstaken3]

wow he's talented!

[kanethecracker]

Beyonce's sister providing backup vocals!

[hangaroundtheinkwell]

good stuff though. didnt mean that bad

awesome

[hangaroundtheinkwell]

wow! a white james brown?

is he really from MA? .crazy.

[Adriangomez619]

Yuhuuuuuuuuuuuu! WOAW!

[stoker243]

WOW!

[fromtallow]

First heard of him through Mojo magazine. He is a great performer in the lines of James Carr and Co

[Row1Boston]

I have seen him solo and with the band a few times over the years and they never disappointed. I think they have a new tour starting soon. anyway, if you liked this, the album this song was on is great.

[farrelm]

That performance is awesome, he blew everyone else on that show out of the water.

[technomouse12]

mallows i agree, he is bloody brilliant

[mallows74]

this is amazing! todays music industry needs music like this out there

[glennmagerman]

Hi all, thanks for watching and listening!

It was great to play on Jools Holland!

This was my first tour with the band as a trumpet player, and I hope there will be more!

u can find the tour blog I held on facebook: just search for Glenn Magerman and Tour Blog... Merry X-mas!

[tomrhys]

Would've been better if Jools had got his name right at the the end!

[alittlesickducksucks]

I knew I wasn't insane! I saw this vid on their MySpace and thought one of the backup singers looked like Solange. Of course I had to investigate, and so it is indeed her. Awesome. Perfect act to stand behind and support if she's gonna stand behind anyone. Eli Paperboy Reed and the True Loves are tops.

[ragingbull666]

thankyou whoever put this on xx

[Manolitou79]

Why doesn't Kelli Jones quit after that?

[DjElSemtex]

Truly great stuff in these musically speaking horrible electronic & soulless days.. :-)

Saw mr. Reed and his fine band @ the Amsterdam Melkweg just a week or so ago and had a great night :-)

Btw, who is the geezer (looks a little like Stereophonic Kelly Jones) on 1.54? The look in his eyes is very funny ;-)

[allyn788]

That was Kelly Jones! (-;

[muraguri]

Saw him last night, and he was outstanding!

[dougieboy29]

my god the boy can sing what a voice love it!that has got to be the best you've heard in a long time!

[bbusl]
